Persepolis II: The Story of a Return

PERSEPOLIS II: The Story of a Return: Marjane Satrapi: Graphic Novel, 2004, Pantheon Books: 187 pages

In this follow up to "Persepolis I: A Childhood" we follow Marjane through her adolescence and into adulthood. After experimenting with drugs, hippies, sexuality, intellectualism and ultimately homelessness in Austria, Marjane returns to her native, now post-war, Iran.

I was a little disappointed that this book was largely about generic young adult debauchery, but there was still an underlying theme of Marjane’s mutating Iranian Identity - if a bit faint through the middle.
